Join us and pack the court on February 6 at 10:00 am, 40 Foley Square, Room 1005. This is a critical step in our case, Hedges v. Obama, and the stakes are high. We need your presence in court to show that Americans care about their civil rights.

The court is located on 40 Foley Square, NY, NY in room 1505 on the 15th floor. All are welcome.

It is up to us to force the government to stop. I am surprised and encouraged that the MSM is actually reporting on this. Mainly liberal news outlets though. Still don't see much anti drone coverage on the right.

Yes thank God for social media as that is just about the only way we can reach a wider audience

As was discussed on another thread, the conservative MSM is starting to lose ground, but we must not fall into the trap in thinking that the more liberal media will report our struggle accurately. They both have the same masters.

Not only does this bill authorize more war and more war spending to the benefit of war profiteers, it is also a theft of rights and is absolutely unconstitutional.

Signing statement shmining statement. Bradley Manning is real and is an American being held under indefinite detention laws. -how long has it been now? Torturous conditions. Forced nudity, stress positions, solitary confinement in the dark.

Expose murder and fraud, get detained indefinitely. Yet a bank like HSBC can fund terrorism and just get a fine.

If you don't trust the government then you should exercise your 1st Amendment rights and -

'petition the Government for a redress of grievances'.

That is what this post is about. Protesting and petitioning the government. You totally missed the point. Instead, choosing to cling to your precious military explosives, as if that were a legitimate response.

It's assinine to suggest that it's a legitimate response that citizens should 'arm' themselves due to mistrust of government. Protesting is the legitimate response.

You are assuming these people you disagree with are not exercisizing their 1st (and 2nd) amendment rights or petitioning the government for redress of grievances.
Enough in-fighting. We all distrust the government period.
